Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

Since Gekoncze mentioned graphics, I decided to make gem and basket sprites... The vase looked pretty small in comparison to the basket, so I made a scaled-up version, but now I wonder if I may have overdone it.Opinions?

Also, about a week ago I did a small bit of programming and made the line breaks in the dialogue come only between words. Dunno if the commit was noticed, since I didn't say anything about it here. If you've done any programming since your last commit, Geko, I hope this didn't interfere with anything you might have been working on ^.^'

I'm going to try to do some programming or other work on the game on Sundays from now on

Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

Perfect! I love it! This might encourage me a bit to work on it more :3Can't wait to see the chests break apart when charged / flamed. I think we could use the actual sprite, cut it in peaces, maybe edit it a bit. Then ingame create the peaces of the chest on its place when its destoyed and give them some random direction, speed and rotation and maybe add some other tiny particles as lines and/or dots. (I think when collecting gems, some lines appear, flying around (in the ps1 games))

I know you wanted dedicated people for the project so feel free to give me hell lol.

Would you mind PMing me that folder with those audio samples Flapjacks? I told my fiancé about you guys needing someone to do the music, and he got really excited. He's got heaps of music making software and he's experimenting right now trying to come up with a sample track. He's trying to incorporate that "recapitulated" sound that we found in several tracks from Spyro the Dragon as well.

Also, well done Sheep! Those look spectacular. This game is looking really nice. I think the basket and vase size is perfect also.

Thanks:)

I made a new commit with the gems I've already shown, as well as bouncing gem value digits and a temporary(?) basket fragment particle

Yeah, I agree, that would be cool! Yep, there are sparkly dot particles trailing after the vase fragments, and two kinds of line particles, one yellow/orange-ish(I think) that doesn't seem to change direction, coming from the chest when broken, and it's fragments when they disappear, and a white one that lives a bit longer and moves around at random, coming from gem value digits when they disappear.

Yeah, I'll get on that right away. I'm missing a few major samples, but maybe I can try digging those up later.

Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

Thanks for sending those. Sorry it took me a while to respond. College has been crazy this week.

What are the requirements for the music? Does it have to strictly sound just like classic Spyro music, or can it have a classic Spyro feel with some fresh elements? My fiancé is working on a desert themed track, since that's the theme of the level in the pictures. I think it sounds pretty good, but he wants to "perfect" it more before you guys hear it. I'm trying to convince him to make an account on here so that I don't have to be the go-between. Lol.

Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

No specific requirements, I would say to just make them fit the levels.

And Flapjacks, sorry it's taken so long to reply. Don't worry about the music, and you can absolutely try something else. I'll assume voice acting for now, but if you want to try anything else, let me know.

The structure I originally planned has pretty much fallen apart anyways (my fault for being inactive around here), but that's okay. Everything's looking awesome, and we will eventually have a game, even if the process wasn't exactly like what I thought it would be.

Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

[insert earthshaper here]

Since no one has responded, I don't think anyone has a very strong opinion on the matter, but I'd probably say minimum 1 minute or something like that. Just not so short it's entirely repetitive The PS1 Spyro tracks seem to vary between roughly 2 and 4 minutes.Looking forward to hear it

Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

Ah, sorry, I totally meant to respond to this and somehow forgot. D: But yeah, no real time limit; 2 minutes should be good, and it should loop well (or fade out) so it can replay as many times as it takes to finish the level.

Re: Spyroforum Fan Game - Week of June 23rd

Not dead yet!

Added a gamepad support but it seems to work only in firefox yet. Testers should try it out if it works. There might still be an issue with badly mapped buttons... I'm going to add button change support soon.
